One of the biggest problems I had with the Biden-Harris administration was the weaponization of government against Christians and conservatives. A good example of this weaponization was the abuse of power by Kristen Clarke, who is Assistant Attorney General and leads the Civil Rights Division. She used her position to persecute peaceful Christian pro-lifers.

First, let’s look at this article from Daily Signal:

The Department of Justice has multiple divisions, with assistant attorneys general at their helms. Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke leads up the Civil Rights Division under Biden, and she has weaponized the division to target pro-lifers.

In one case, the Civil Rights Division sent a SWAT team to the home of a Catholic father with seven children at 7 a.m. on charges that he had assaulted an abortion center worker. Not only had local authorities declined to charge Mark Houck for the brief altercation, but a federal jury ultimately acquitted him. He’s now suing for malicious prosecution.

I would argue that the Obama and Biden rhetoric about abortion has inflamed secular leftists, inciting them to commit crimes like attacking pro-life pregnancy centers and burning down churches and shooting up Sunday services. These activities are ongoing. But the Biden-Harris focus isn’t on actual crimes. They want to focus on punishing Christians for their Christian faith, and punishing conservatives for disagreeing with their policies.

And it’s not just on issues like abortion.

The Civil Rights Division has also taken up the cause of transgender orthodoxy.

[…]“As a result, in addition to our Title VII [employment law] cases involving sexual assault and misconduct, we are pursuing cases based on gender identity and sexual orientation across all of our statutes that prohibit sex discrimination,” the department noted.

The department highlighted “developments” that it claimed “reflect the increased visibility and urgency of issues related to gender-based violence and discrimination.” In that list, it claimed that “nearly 240 anti-LGBTQ bills have been filed in state legislatures in 2022 alone, most of them targeting people for their gender identity.”

That suggests that the Civil Rights Division was gearing up to file lawsuits against states that pass laws aimed at protecting kids from experimental transgender medical interventions or preventing biological males from accessing women’s private spaces.

Now, you might think that the Federal Department of Justice would be concerned with the epidemic of sex-trafficking of children that’s been caused by the Biden-Harris open borders policies. But their focus is investigating conservatives who disagree with their transgender agenda. Remember how they labeled parents who disagreed with boys in girl’s bathrooms as “domestic terrorists”? They’re not worried about violent crimes committed by transgender people, which are frequent. No, they are concerned about prosecuting “domestic terrorists” – parents who disagree with their transgender activism.

Kristen Clarke looks like an unqualified DEI clown. She has a messed-up marriage, and lied about her past arrest during her confirmation hearings.

Clarke served as president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a left-wing activist group. She also worked for five years at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, a leftist group that links abortion to “racial justice.” Both groups have frequently accessed the Biden White House and received large cash infusions from the Left’s dark money network… She cited the far-left smear factory the Southern Poverty Law Center in condemning Alliance Defending Freedom, a nonprofit pro-life and religious freedom law firm, as a “hate group.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center was linked to a REAL instance of domestic terrorism, when a gay-rights activist attempted a mass shooting at the conservative Family Research Council headquarters. So, this Kristen Clarke is a woman who goes after peaceful pro-lifers, but thinks that the SPLC – a real hate group – is just wonderful.

Did you disagree with Fauci about the lab-leak theory of COVID or cloth mask mandates? Well, Clarke thought you should be killed for that:

She said that those protesting Dr. Anthony Fauci, the controversial COVID-19 czar and now-retired head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, should be “publicly identified and named, barred from treatment at any public hospital if/when they fall ill and denied coverage under their insurance.”

She lied about her arrest for her domestic violence in order to be confirmed:

As my former colleague Mary Margaret Olohan exclusively reported for The Daily Signal, Clarke had been arrested for attacking her then-husband, Reginald Avery, with a knife, deeply slicing one of his fingers to the bone in 2006. The pair finalized their divorce in 2009. Clarke had the arrest expunged from her record, and during her Senate confirmation, she denied ever having been arrested or having been accused of committing a violent crime. Clarke admitted to her failure to disclose that arrest, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, called for her to resign.

OK, so who does Trump want to replace this affirmative-action psychopath?

Dhillon, by contrast, has been a fearless advocate, not just for pro-lifers, but for the civil liberties of many who stand against the woke orthodoxies of the day.

[…]Dhillon has represented pro-life journalist David Daleiden, who exposed Planned Parenthood staff who sold aborted-baby body parts. Then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris launched an investigation into Daleiden that later led to criminal charges from her successor, Xavier Becerra (who now serves as Biden’s secretary of health and human services). Planned Parenthood also sued him, and Daleiden responded with lawsuits of his own.

Dhillon also represented former Google senior software engineer James Damore, who sued Google after it terminated him following his exposure of the Big Tech company’s anti-conservative bias. She sued Rose City Antifa on behalf of journalist Andy Ngo, after Ngo suffered injuries in an assault in Portland, Oregon.

Dhillon also represented Americans who lost their freedoms during the COVID-19 pandemic. She filed more than a dozen lawsuits against pandemic orders in California, representing pastors, businesses, and citizens.

[…]Dhillon has also championed the cause of detransitioners—men and women who identified as transgender, underwent medical experiments to alter their bodies, and then rejected their transgender identities, lamenting the damage done to their bodies. Detransitioners are often left out in the cold, as transgender people receive praise and recognition in public and LGBTQ activist groups often demonize or ignore those who are victimized by gender ideology.

Just achievement piled on top of achievement piled on top of achievement. Elections matter.
